The Omaha Planning Board voted 6-0 on February 4, 2026 to approve the final plat for Tuki Heights Replat 1, a new residential subdivision bringing 35 single-family lots and three outlots to the area west of 36th and Brown Streets inside Omaha city limits. The project was presented by Assistant Planning Director Eric England and approved subject to two conditions prior to City Council review.
Holy Name Housing Corporation is developing 35 single-family lots west of 36th and Brown Streets in Omaha. The rezoning from R4-35 to R5 was previously approved by the Planning Board on November 5, 2025 and by City Council on January 13, 2026. This final plat is the last administrative hurdle before construction can begin. The project adds much-needed single-family housing inventory to an area of Omaha that has seen steady demand.
Omaha's housing shortage is well documented. The Omaha Daily Record has tracked a steady stream of new plats and rezonings moving through the Planning Board, and Tuki Heights is part of that broader wave of residential development responding to demand. Thirty-five new single-family homes is a meaningful addition, particularly in a section of Omaha where inventory has been tight. For families exploring whether to build new or invest in their existing home through home additions in Omaha or a basement finishing project, developments like Tuki Heights are a useful benchmark for understanding what the local market values in new residential construction.
Holy Name Housing Corporation is the applicant and developer. The preliminary plat was approved by the Planning Board on November 5, 2025, with City Council following on January 13, 2026. The final plat approval on February 4 was an administrative action, meaning it moves directly to City Council for final disposition rather than requiring a separate public hearing. Planning Director David Fanslaw oversaw the review process, with Eric England presenting the staff recommendation.
Tuki Heights joins a growing list of residential developments approved across the Omaha metro in early 2026.
